This week we talk about three different documentaries with three different styles.
Nanook of the North (1922) dir. by Robert J. Flaherty, a pioneering silent documentary chronicling the lives of indigenous Inuit people in Canada.
Tabu: A Story of the South Seas (1931) dir. by F. W. Murnau, silent docufiction following a forbidden love in the Islands of Tahiti.
The Act Of Killing (2012) dir. by Joshua Oppenheimer & Anonymous, a monumental documentary covering the 1965-66 Indonesian mass killings, reenacted by the death squad leaders.
